Description
Three freeway support columns side-by-side. Cosmic Clowns features a planet and three "alien" faces framed by a pair of hands, below which is a heart with an arrow through it and a snake wrapped around it. Very bottom is a phantasmal figure in white. Los Niños Del Mundo depicts two Quetzalcoatl heads facing outwards, a human figure holding a brush and palette apparently painting large fields of color. The Tree of Life has a fetus crowned by the four directions symbol, faces flanking. A row of people on either side. Below the central image is a tree whose roots grow into water where people bathe. Mario Torero restored Cosmic Clowns in 1992. Guillermo Rosete, Guillermo Aranda, Felipe Adame, and Vidal Aguirre restored Tree of Life also in 1992 The artist of any work retains all rights to that work.
